This is so obvious (hat it forces itself at once upon (he notice of (hose-benevolent persons who are engaged in .plans for the temporary relief of the suffer ing which so widely prevails. . ■“ It is with this view that an American league has been formed in New York to pro mote the consumption of American manufac tures and to foster and sustain American interests in every form. Such a league, if generally entered into and faithfully kept, wilt Very shortly raise our droopingundustry from the dust and fill the homes of labor wiihf cheerful comfort. Nor would- there be any sacrifice of comfort, convenience, or even of tasteful luxury'in this. The arti cles which we. import so largely from Europe ore, to a very great degree, superioK to those of domestic production ,'only in the copri cious valuation of fashion. Many a pretry lip may curl in scorn when we say -it, yet it is a fact that the foreign shawlsj which are ■old at such fabulous prices, are not, 10 the eye of true lasie, so handsome as those which ere made at home and sold at less' than, a year’s interest on the cost of the foreign article.

TN Reairknble Feature ot the President*! Message. We have rnemipned, we believe, more (ban once, that the Pugitive Slave law end the re peal of the Missouri Compromise would do moreto multiply abolitionists than all (hat ha? been accomplished by anti-slavery pres- preachers and politicians since the foun- the government. The recent elec tions in the Northern Slates have furnished a very striking verification of our prediction. This palion witnessed a more mem orable revolution in public sentiment than the one /liey how witness.. But one evidence of this mighty change has Hspenily.come under our notice, fur which we confess we were pot prepared.

There have been' some 'monstrous hypocrites since the world began, but the development of the Hypocritical Man seems reserved fbr this age. It is not a year sines grave Senators stood up in the Legislative Halls of the nation and proclaimed a lie in the the faces of the American people; and not only proclaimed, tint persisted in thrusting it in their faces when the truth was apparent to the shal lowest thinker fn the nation. What then 7—why, men who saw the truth as plain as the son at noon day, hoped that it might alter all, (by God’s good Providence, perhaps,) prove to be an illusion of minds overwrought with anxiety; in other words, that the apparent truth might prove a wolf ia shpep’s clothing—Falsehood in the. livery of Truth But (here were some oaTnest-hsarto, who, accustom ed to looking facts in the face whether they proplie eied good or evil, refused to suspect the integrity of Reason. These have cried out continually against the lethargy which seemed creeping on the senses of those who would shut their .eyes and hope for .the best. It is well to hope for the best, if, in connection with it, men prepare for the wont. Bm hoping for the best, is too often the resignation of a seal that dreads labor; that puls the evil, day afar off, not of its faith in heaven’s ultimate beneficence to Mao, but because of its disinclination to think and act. To hope for the best! truly, is to gird op and go out to Kauri that good thing. But when Arnold Dougina and his abettors sought to soothe the public alarm by declaring that Heaven had opposed an insur mountable barrier to the spread of Slavery into Kansas—that its climate, soil, &c., would prevent its frec-soil from being polluted by the loot of a bondman—a great many gobd hoping men accepted (be shallow pretence as If it bit) been God’s truth. They forgot that Slavery set at defiance the imagin ary line? drawn on the map by geographers ; that it is a social and not a natural product; that it thrives even in the icy clime of Siberia, as well as in the Oriental and Occidental tropics. Bpl (here were others who did not ibrget this truth,'hor petmil it to be hidden by the sophistries woven by the little great-men who stood.godfathers for the Kansas ini quity. And ever since the late election in' that territory, the shallow hypocrisy of its political creators has stood revealed in thefrags of pmerly-ttricken ties— so poortbat even their fabricators are now disposed to treat them like poor relations. Northern freemen cannot too carefully study the; doctrine of “ popular sovereignly” is preached by Arnold Douglas, and' reduccd to practice ih the Karma election. The facta«f that election form the best commentary'np on that doctrine extant’. The arch traitor himself could not have explained Ha proper worting better. Let us look at it: Some hundreds of ruffians from slave-ridden Missouri, armed with piatoli and bowie-knivea,; (lovely symbols of demooraey and “popular sovereignty,”) crossed over into Kansas a - few days prior to election, and by bullying the timid and nailing their own illegal, votes, succeeded in electing a pro-slavery delegate to represent the real. eilixens of that territory in Congress) Then, after several days delay.

Beecher. The lecture by Rov. Taos. K, Extensa, before the Institute on the evening of the third inst., was an admirable thing. The subject—“ Rich sod Poor” was handled with marked ability and with a great deal of originality. Rich and Poor were considered as relative terms. We bad rich jokes, rich cream, rich mines, rich cake and rich men. The term be ing applied to those things which abound unusaily jn the qualities fur which they are noted. The boy who, in answer to his catechist, answered—” The chief end of man, ia to hold what he gels and get all ha can”—be said, hit tbs nail on the head, It Was a blander only as considered a part of the cat echism—as a traveslie it was true. Rich and Poor he considered a subject for sober thought, bet not for saber thought alone. Every cloud had its silver lining, every rain its ivy, every grave its bright green grass and its sweet 9oWers,atur-gemmed with dew-drops every bright morning. The owner of stocks, lands and houses was called rich because We unconsciously consider that the chief end of man ia to bold all be gets and to get all he can. Our riches are always measured by the re lations we sustain .to those around us, not by the luxuries we can afford. Thus, men who now think themselves poor, would* in the same community have.been considered rich, 4 filly years’ago. To be rich is to be in advance of our neighbors. We must rise while other* go down to make room for us. Alan’s aspirations for riches were humorously com pared to the laxy donkey chasing a thistle bung just before his nose by his witty driver. The race for riches was like bis who. vainly tries to compass his shadow in the morning. As the sun gets higher and higher in the heavens he grows more sanguine, un til at last in the full blaze of noonday he easily .sets his foot directly down upon it. So men follow their aspirations nnlll the Divine light comes pouring strait down into the soul and man is at rest upon Contentment. He who'runs after riches ignorant of what he niaheatb gainer alien, is but a (ootiati child whose reason is the slave of an unkempt Im iginalion. To dread poverty without knowing what poverty is, is to be a coward, frightened at a moonshine g|ioet. Men, he'taid, were always going to do /rest thing* when they got little ,or nothing With what they haVe-a-always ‘potting away the available Present—Running oyer with big intentions, the ex- 1 ccution of which, like dancing dreams, always lay FuldreWard.

Cobb :—As. you now may understand, I am in no haste to annoy your readers with a second dose of Higher Law! Ido not doubt that many of them preferto have no more said on that subject for a long time. Many of them can't understand what it means, and Others do not like' to hear it mentioned, or brought into notice in any way; for reasons which theyjfeel but do not folly understand. Allow me to suggest that Ihe great reason Cot all this j'eulousy, is, that a Higher Law government- implies individual self-govern ment, and consequently a disencumberment of the human individual, from the trappings „of his bondage—the bridle, ‘whereby he is guided’ and curbed; and the saddle which holds the beneficent (1) rider; very ’ disas trous, if these bridlek and" saddles .should grow useless, and the riding antf .guiding un comfortable, unprofitable and impossible I for most of us have an interest in it of some sort! and do magnify our office therein, at leas, in private. I protest that there is no reason able ground for this jealousy, though I have not time, now, to argue the point. Let it suffice that Higher Law, that is, Law, higher thun any constitution or statute, has always been prevalent in all human society, ard al ways muil be; and the only safe alternative which is.evef practicable, is to study, cherish and obey that kind of Higher Law which is found to be most consistent with the unchang ing principles of justice. This is the Higher LitW, as 1 understand the phrase in its pre sent use. But 1 believe it did not always mean the “ highest rule of conduct.”- If I am not mistaken, the phrase is of Southern manufacture, and was first, and for a long lime, applied to certain Lower Laws, which the people of the South, and many of the North, 100, have held to be, nevertheless, above the constitution. Ist, There was a law, higher than the constitution, for violating the private rights of all persons .indiscriminately, by plunder ing post offices under the pretext of searching for and burning “ incendiary documents.”— This “ Higher Law,” if I remember right, was commended by Gen. Jackson and many other great notabilities, and but faintly con demand by any respectable authority. It seemed in a fair way to be,“ re-enacted”,by Congress, but for the opposition of Henry Clay, in the Senate. If it be almost obsolete, we may be certain that its disuse is Owing not so much to love of conaiilbtioas, as to an apprehensiofi, that the practice under the law 1 ; might, in time, become too general and indiscriminate. 'Probabjy our Higher Law has helped to repeal it. I 2d. The law which depriyes of their liber ty colored citizen's of the Northern Slates, on lariding in Southern ports, especially Charles ton and New Orjeans, We have heard, once in a long while, cohit plaints, from respectable sources, against, this law, as repugnant to' the constitution; and I he'repugnance has not been seriously dented; but the'law has been succegslldly defended upon principles independent of the " Sacked Compromise.” It is said lb, be founded’in the nature of the “ Peculipi 1 Institution,” (ha interest of which' is of a higher order thati /hat of the Union itself,- Recent events ,seem to indipalp that, the prestige, of this infernal cpde is jtelping to sdihe still higher neces'slty —perhaps 1 (hit df ftb’ffiraeHcel FSssa/tjly oar Higher LaW may have 7 helped towards this result. 3d.

Scire Facias. ■ How Two Hen Escaped From Slavery; - Wo read with' admiration of Ihe daring deeds of the early settlers of this country, and embalm in deathless story the memory of those, who struck a brave blow for our independence in the dark days of lhe Amer icttq Revolution. VVe glorify Capl. Smith, for laying his legal oppressor dead 4 at his feet, and making his escape ; we profess to sympathize with the oppressed everywhere, and yet we remain indifferent to the many in our own country who bravely risk their lives for the sake of freedom, and shake off the fetters of slavery—just freedom as wb love, and a worse Slavery than our fathers resis ted. The Underground Railroad Agent in this city - necessarily becomes acquainted with many of these interesiilng eases, and through his kindness we are perlniued to give as many particulars of some of these as it would seem proper and judicious to publish. Isaac and Henry were owned by the same master, and were taken to a public house to be sold. They were soon disposed of, and their new masters put them into a room to gether, saying, " 1 suppose, boys, you “ will not make me any trouble I” Isaac, a large, noble-looking fellow, by the way, answered very meekly—“ Oh no, we come here with out any “ trouble, and we mean to go away without any.” The new owner (a trader) was satisfied with the answer, and left them. No sooner Was he gone than the two slaves carried out their threat to go away without trouble; and lha “uncertain riches”,of the new proprietor walked off in the woods.— The modus operandi of their living here it might not be altogether judicious to explain. Their residence in ihe'hut they built was of two weeks duration. Then they were dis covered, and a parly of armed men procee ded to capture them. The slaves were busy at breakfast when they were summoned to surrender, and told that if they came out they would be shot down on the spot. Isaac seized a broad axe and Henry a dirk, which they had obtained by book or crook, and dashed out. Their but was on the bank of a stream, and into the streatrt, they plunged. The party fired on them, wounding them both severely. Isaac’s arm was filled With shot, and tho weapon drooped from his hand. But the spirit of liberty was not. yet quen ched, and'they attempted to escape, pursued, of course, by the rapacious man-hunters. After a long and noble effort to escape, they were at length overcome by fatigue and numbers, and retaken, and at once conveyed lo the jail, where they were confined in the second story. Sad, indeed, was their condi tion. Henry was sick from his so that he could do nothing, and Isaac’s arm was so injured that for two weeks he was unable lb use'll. There was, it seemed, no escape but in suicide. But the spirit iliat burned itf the bosoms of our fathers burned also in ihfl bosom of these black men, and, as 'soon as Isaac’s arm coujd be used, it was set about executing (he plans their heads had conceived. Here, again,'we leave the reader to surmise the modus operandi. Suffice it to say ihdl, after two Weeks of almost incessant labor, they were agahr bfeathing air of heaven. Sixteen weary, miles did they Walk en the night of their'escape, and again took up their residence in lire woods.— How deeply could they realize the truth of the sentiment that mab’s greatest enemy is man. The hhbUations if human beings wer.e shunrted'and drekded mow than death ; they sought and found safety in the deep silence and dark abodes of nature. 1 Thus; When men are unkind and oppressive, God's paternal hand is Over us, and in his presence ‘wo (feel there is infinite love and mercy.’ 1 They remain hr retreat for two months, and intend to winter in their residence; but they found that, from certain indications among the poultry yards, the slaveholders began to suspect that the woods were inhabked by the missing negroes, and determined upon a * l dri»»”i*ii«i a man hunt, with dogs and guns. • The negroes were 10 be taken atfirst sight*’—d. e.-shot deadaS soon as se£n.
